 Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2014 12:02 am Post subject: [Solved] Xresources Not Reflected When in VNC |
 |
|
I have the following defined for urxvt terminal.
| Code: | ~/.Xresources
urxvt.font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=16:antialias=false
urxvt.boldFont: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=16:antialias=false
urxvt*scrollBar: false
urxvt*background: black
urxvt*foreground: gray
|
And it is loaded as the following.
| Code: | ~/.xinitrc
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -load ~/.Xresources
/usr/bin/startfluxbox
|
Now, when I start X with "startx", urxvt shows up nicely the way I defined. But when I connect through VNC, none of the values defined in "~/.Xresources" is reflected (i.e. urxvt shows up with the default color and font). It doesn't matter which VNC client I'm using.
| Code: | ~/.vnc/xstartup
/usr/bin/startfluxbox |
I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I'm not able to make much progress here. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I still haven't figured out why "~/.Xresources" is not loaded when using VNC, but at least passing the values as command line arguments seem to work.
"urxvt -fn xft:Terminus:pixelsize=16:antialias=false -fb xft:Terminus:pixelsize=16:antialias=false +sb -bg black -fg gray"

It turned out that loading "~/.Xresources" should be done in "~/.vnc/xstartup" as well, just like it is done in "~/.xinitrc".
| Code: | ~/.vnc/xstartup
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -load ~/.Xresources <-- Add this
/usr/bin/startfluxbox |
Once I added it, all settings in "~/.Xresources" were correctly applied even when I connected via VNC.
